We are very rich!

I reluctantly come to this place again, I have been gone long enough to feel that I am on unfamiliar ground, but something draws me here and forces me to record a beautiful picture.  On Friday and Saturday I went to a wonderful home school convention.  Going to a convention is the one gift that I recommend homeschooling moms  give to themselves and their families.  Thursday night as I was looking through some of the material on my bed, Dania is chatting aimlessly away, she can really jabber when she has a mind to.  I am not paying much attention, just the courtesy nods and ahem, when I hear her say that "We are very, very rich." I nod in the affirmative, she says it again, and this time I tell her that yes it is true that we have more than lots of people, how so many are really poor, how blessed we are, but that it is not nice to talk about how rich we are.  I go back to my reading and shuffling and I almost miss her say, "no mom! I mean we have lots of love, and if you have love, you are rich."
